Summer Bank Holiday is relevant only to England, Wales and Northern Ireland, not whole UK. So if we want to see it, need to specify subdivision, e.g.

import holidays

uk_eng_holidays = holidays.GB(subdiv="ENG")  # or "WLS" or "NIR"

if "2024-08-26" in uk_eng_holidays:
    print("enjoy the day off work")
